An Alarm Clock

It is quiet and peaceful,
With no one around.
The place looks beautiful
Where lost things become found

The jump of elegance,
Reaching for a step.
The calmness of excellence
Which is going to be kept.

Clouds that go vroom
and buildings that pop.
Lollies that go boom
But all of that just stopped.

A loud noise that’s deafening,
a sleep that ends
something’s that annoying
an alarm clock, that’s tense.
